Chris Brown, of BuffaloBills.com, reports the Buffalo Bills are hoping unrestricted free-agent WR Donovan Morgan (Bills) is not picked up by another team, so they can sign him to their practice squad early next week.

Alex Marvez, of the Sun-Sentinel, reports Houston Texans practice squad WR Donovan Morgan told the New York Times he successfully petitioned the Miami Dolphins not to claim him off waivers when waived by the Texans during the preseason. Morgan was housing eight family members in his two-bedroom apartment who were evacuated from New Orleans following Hurricane Katrina. After hearing the Dolphins were going to claim him, he told team officials that another move would have been too difficult for his family even if it meant losing a shot at a spot on a 53-man roster.

The Associated Press reports the Houston Texans have signed former Arena Football League 2 WR Donovan Morgan. He led the league in regular season scoring with 57 touchdowns and had 1,687 yards receiving.
